It’s that simple. Maybe back in the day you could get liquored up and pick a fight on Pan Am, maybe even score with a flight attendant and no one would care. However, post 9/11, these are the rules; we don’t care that you’re having a bad day, you’re off your meds, or you are just a cantankerous old coot. Shut your damn mouth on the airplane and everyone will get from point A to point B just fine. Yet again, this has proven to be way too many rules to follow for some of the wonderful humans that we share this planet with.

Fine started arguing with the woman, telling her to put her seat back up. When flight attendants tried to calm her down, she demanded that they land the plane. A witness told the local news “She said something to the effect of, 'I don't care about the consequences. Put this plane down now.'"

Well isn’t that just special? Instead of dealing with a reclining old lady for a few hours, she decided to screw everyone and land the whole plane! The captain decided to divert course and land in Jacksonville to remove the crazy passenger. She later told cops she was emotional since her dog died. I bet her dog killed himself; sort of his version of “landing the plane now.” (Really? Thinking about writing an angry comment? Did you know the dog?) Fine was dropped off by local authorities at the Jacksonville airport rental car area; her intended destination West Palm Beach is a four hour drive. The other passengers arrived an hour and a half behind schedule. Things could always be worse. Just pray you don’t have this lady on your flight:

For some reason, this caused the women in the seat in front of him to become upset. The flight crew intervened and the man refused to remove the Knee Defender from the seat, so the woman threw water in his face. Both were taken into custody in Chicago before the flight continued to Denver. Who was right here? Should Knee Defenders be allowed on airplanes to avoid incidents like the Florida lady freaking out? Or should everyone just deal?
